Package: getmail4
Version: 4.6.5-1
Severity: important
My ISP dumps mail bounces to my domain into a single address box. I use
getmail with the MultidropIMAP facility to get and unpack these.
Since most of these emails are spam, sometimes they have really bad
formatting problems. In particular, I can get the
try:
line = data[self.envrecipname][self.envrecipnum]
except (KeyError, IndexError), unused:
exception to trigger in class MultidropIMAPRetrieverBase.
This causes getmail to abort fetching, and there is no way to remove the
email except by manually deleting it, which is a real challenge.
In this kind of automated use, it would make sense to have an option to
allow getmail to substitute a null recipient (I hacked it to substitute
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and log the failure) so the system would carry on.
